Tao yuanqing [Wei and Jin dynasties]
Original text:
The spring water is full of four rivers, and Xia Yun has many strange peaks.
The autumn moon shines on the ground, and the winter ridge is lonely and loose.
Translation:
Spring water overflows fields and Shui Ze, and summer clouds are unpredictable, such as the sudden appearance of Qifeng.
The autumn moon is bright, and everything in the moonlight is covered with a layer of blurred colors. In winter, a pine tree on sorghum is full of vitality in the cold.
Appreciate:
With the help of scenery, the poet praises nature, exaggerates the atmosphere, expresses personal feelings and exposes social darkness, which fully demonstrates the lyric function of poetry and creates an artistic conception different from social turmoil and ill-fated with natural and simple language.
This is a poem describing the changes of scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter. As we all know, Tao Yuanming loves nature. He captures all kinds of beautiful changes and seasonal changes in nature very accurately, and expresses his personal feelings by describing nature.
